=== About Residual ===
[http://residualvm.org/ ResidualVM] started as a sub-project of ScummVM for the "residual" [[LucasArts]] games that could not be added to ScummVM because they are 3D games, namely [[Grim Fandango]] and [[Escape from Monkey Island]], using the [http://www.lua.org Lua]-based Grim Engine (GrimE).
Residual is a [http://www.scummvm.org ScummVM] sub-project to play [[LucasArts]]' [http://www.lua.org LUA]-based 3D adventures, such as [[Grim Fandango]].
Residual is an [http://www.opengl.org OpenGL] program, and requires a 3D card with working OpenGL support for the best experience.  


A software renderer is also available, but lacks lighting and is less tested.
It has gained its independence since then as a project similar to ScummVM but for 3D adventure games with several engines from other game companies being developed on.


The main ScummVM program can run LucasArts 2D [[SCUMM]] adventures (among others).
For more detailed information on the current status please read the [http://wiki.residualvm.org/ ResidualVM Wiki].
Residual is named such as it aims to do the same for the residual (remaining) games. It is also a word pun, as the engine used in these LUA-based adventure is called GrimE (as opposed to SCUMM). Grime is a type of residue.
 
=== What is the state of Residual? ===
Basic gameplay works, including cutscenes.  
Some of the game is playable, but many features are either missing or unstable.
There are no menus, save/load features, proper lighting, etc. Crashes are likely.

ResidualVM started as a sub-project of ScummVM for the "residual" LucasArts games that could not be added to ScummVM because they are 3D games, namely Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island, using the Lua-based Grim Engine (GrimE).

It has gained its independence since then as a project similar to ScummVM but for 3D adventure games with several engines from other game companies being developed on.
